WILLIAM "WILD BILL" MANN, JR.
LIMA OHIO – William "Wild Bill" Mann, Jr, 85, passed away on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, Ohio after a brief battle with Covid.
He was born in Dante, Virginia; son of the late William H., Sr. and Nannie Osborne Mann. He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Wilma Jean Dyer Mann, who passed away in March, 2021. He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Bobby Mann and John Mann. Bill loved spending time with his children and the real twinkle in his eyes, his grandchildren.
